Starting Tuesday, April 11, and continuing through Wednesday, April 12, students and players took advantage of the shockingly warm weather to free the fields in the NBC Spartan Sports Complex from the leftover snow that had accumulated from the winter.

Snow was picked up from the field grounds and flung off shovels for hours at a time in preparation for practices and games to begin for the 2023 Spring Sports Season.
